  • Bravery Is a Character to Defend and Struggle Something Which Is Reputed As the Right Thing for Facing All Forms of Danger and Difficulty
    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of The Study According to Paul Findley (2008), bravery is a character to defend and struggle something which is reputed as the right thing for facing all forms of danger and difficulty. Not only men who has bravery in theirself but also women. Nowadays there are still so many women are not brave enough to express their opinion and what they think right to do. Even we know that now women’s emancipation is encouraged, but we still often find Women who get opression from man. Women has enormous influence in life. Women has the same rights as human beings. Women has the same freedom with man to express and do what they want to do, what they think right to do. God has indeed created different between women and men to complement each other. Each has their own rights, obligations, and roles. Perhaps in some cases women and men can exchange roles but that does not necessarily serve as a footing that men and women can replace each other. Novel The Pelican Brief was written by John Grisham in 1994. The Pelican Brief was published and became a huge success book. Almost all off his books were adopted become a movie, five of them are already The Client, The Pelican Brief, The Firm, A Time to Kill, and The Chamber.

PLURALIZING THE CLIENT-LAWYER RELATIONSHIP John Leubsdorf t The lawyer-client relationship traditionally has been conceived as one between individuals. Indeed, this conception is built into the very words we use to describe the relationship. Scholarship, profes- sional rules, and judicial opinions speak of "a lawyer" and "a client."' In reality, legal services today are usually rendered by groups of people for other groups of people, or perhaps by organizations for other organizations. Lawyers increasingly practice in firms, legal service or government offices, and other groupings.2 Clients are typically businesses, government agencies, or other organizations. This Article is a preliminary attempt to explore the implications of these realities for the law governing client-lawyer relationships. In particular, I suggest some alternative conceptions of these rela- tionships. Though scholars have considered some of the problems discussed, the subject as a whole is novel: how to apply a body of law, presupposing relationships between individual clients and law- yers, when the group nature of clients or lawyers is important.

The result shows that Rudy shows the quality to be wise since he is a teenager which means Rudy has wisdom. Rudy uses his wisdom in a way of how he interacts with his Black Family which is the client of Rudy, how he needs to behave and build a relation and compassion with his client according to the situation, and how Rudy as a new-qualify and inexperienced lawyer makes plans, tactics, and movements to defeat the big insurance company Great Benefit’s legendary attorney.

  • The Runaway Jury John Grisham
    The Runaway Jury John Grisham One The face of Nicholas Easter was slightly hidden by a display rack filled with slim cordless phones, and he was looking not directly at the hidden camera but somewhere off to the left, perhaps at a customer, or perhaps at a counter where a group of kids hovered over the latest electronic games from Asia. Though taken from a distance of forty yards by a man dodging rather heavy mall foot traffic, the photo was clear and revealed a nice face, clean-shaven with strong features and boyish good looks. Easter was twenty-seven, they knew that for a fact. No eyeglasses. No nose ring or weird haircut. Nothing to indicate he was one of the usual computer nerds who worked in the store at five bucks an hour. His questionnaire said he'd been there for four months, said also that he was a part- time student, though no record of enrollment had been found at any college within three hundred miles. He was lying about this, they were certain. He had to be lying. Their intelligence was too good. If the kid was a student, they'd know where, for how long, what field of study, how good were the grades, or how bad. They'd know. He was a clerk in a Computer Hut in a mall. Nothing more or less. Maybe he planned to enroll somewhere. Maybe he'd dropped out but still liked the notion of referring to himself as a part-time student. Maybe it made him feel better, gave him a sense of purpose, sounded good.

    One Great Book: Volume II, Episode 2 The Pelican Brief by John Grisham ​ Show Notes [00:00] One Great Book Volume II, Book 2: The Pelican Brief ​ [UPBEAT INTRO MUSIC] Hey readers, I’m Anne Bogel, and you’re listening to One Great Book, the short-form podcast ​ ​ from the team behind What Should I Read Next, where each week I pull one stand-out ​ ​ selection off my personal bookshelves and tell you all about it in ten minutes or less. [MUSIC] Once upon a time in Southaven Mississippi, a young lawyer witnessed a trial. The trial inspired him to write a book. It was a good book, but it didn’t sell. He wrote another book, which nobody wanted to buy, because his first book didn’t sell, but despite this, he was finally able to get it published. That book was The Firm, and it changed John Grisham’s life. Incidentally, it changed ​ ​ my husband’s life, as well, and I’m so grateful. The Firm was the book that made Will fall in love ​ ​ with reading, finally, when he was seventeen years old, because NOBODY writes a breathless legal thriller like Grisham. Because of The Firm’s huge success, Grisham was hired to write The ​ ​ ​ ​ Pelican Brief, my favorite Grisham novel, and one that’s overlooked these days—but I have to ​ ​ ​ tell you about it because it is One. Great. Book. [MUSIC] *** One Great Book is brought to you by Page 1 Books. Page 1 is a book subscription box: they are ​ ​ ​ literary matchmakers who custom-pick a selection for you with every box.
